I've been a slacker!

So many things to update! The most exciting is that last Tuesday we got to see our little blasty (henceforth shall be named Petri- it's cuter;)) Petri was fantastic! Measuring 5w6d (when I was 6w1d) and had a heartbeat of 104bpm. It was such a relief to see our baby and to see the flickering of our BABY's heart. I had to get another prescription for Metformin written up (other one's refills ran out... ugh) but it gave the Dr. time to find my nurse and everyone was SO excited for us:) I go back again on the 22nd for our next ultrasound.

By Friday my IF fears had crept in and overtaken all my joy. I had a major freakout at work on Friday. I'm so worried that I'll have missed miscarriage and that I'll get bad news on the 22nd. It's so hard to just trust that things are ok. I hate that I've been robbed of this joyful time because of the journey it took to get here. I'm trying very hard to just be excited and happy and not let those thoughts overtake me.

Sunday was another amazing day though. We decided to tell J's parents and my stepmom and her boyfriend. We were all meeting for brunch because J's parents had a gift certificate so they had no idea it was coming. I told J he could tell them and right after a conversation about the Tsunami in Japan had barely finished J said "did you hear the other news? Megannjay's pregnant!" Needless to say they, and I, were shocked. I didn't expect him to deliver it like that but it was pretty awesome. I'll never forget the faces of my mom and J's mom. It was amazing:) They were/are SO excited for us! I'm so happy that we FINALLY got to have this conversation with them:)

Tomorrow we're telling my mom and her husband and then thursday we're telling my dad and his wife. Throughout the week we'll be telling the siblings (over the phone). I'm excited to get all this out there so I don't have to avoid people or be worried about the conversation coming up. We can just talk about it and be excited about it:)

I'll post a picture of petri from our 6w u/s with the one from the 8w u/s. Do another comparison post:)

Symptoms:
Nausea is starting. I'm not totally sure if it's from the met or if it's real morning sickness. Today it was worse than other days and seemed to last most of the day though.
Otherwise feeling good:)

Happy 7 weeks to me!:)
